ISGREATER(3) Library Functions Manual ISGREATER(3) NAME isgreater, isgreaterequal, isless, islessequal, islessgreater, isunordered - compare two floating-point numbers LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <math.h> int isgreater(real-floating x, real-floating y); int isgreaterequal(real-floating x, real-floating y); int isless(real-floating x, real-floating y); int islessequal(real-floating x, real-floating y); int islessgreater(real-floating x, real-floating y); int isunordered(real-floating x, real-floating y); DESCRIPTION Each of the macros isgreater(), isgreaterequal(), isless(), islessequal(), and islessgreater() take arguments x and y and return a non-zero value if and only if its nominal relation on x and y is true. These macros always return zero if either argument is not a number (NaN), but unlike the corresponding C operators, they never raise a floating point exception. The isunordered() macro takes arguments x and y and returns non-zero if and only if neither x nor y are NaNs. For any pair of floating-point values, one of the relationships (less, greater, equal, unordered) holds. SEE ALSO fpclassify(3), math(3), signbit(3) STANDARDS The isgreater(), isgreaterequal(), isless(), islessequal(), islessgreater(), and isunordered() macros conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 ("ISO C99"). HISTORY The relational macros described above first appeared in NetBSD 5.0. NetBSD 9.99 February 12, 2003 NetBSD 9.99
